Before being elected to public office,Yasin had been active at Nahdlatul Ulama,being the leader of Ansor Youth Movement's Bogor branch between 1984 and 1991. He was elected to Bogor's municipal council (DPRD Kabupaten Bogor) in 1997,and following the 2004 legislative election was appointed as its speaker. [2]

"Friday stroll" and "Wednesday stroll"). [8]
On 7 May 2014,he was apprehended by the Corruption Eradication Commission in his own house. [9] Prior to his arrest,Yasin had been examined several times as a witness for other corruption cases.
